Lumidigm Multispectral Imaging

This is a patented technology that uses multiple spectrums of light to identify unique fingerprint characteristics from the surface of the skin as well as subdermal layers.
This make the fingerprint identification process more reliable and results in the best liveness detection capability in the industry.

Identification vs Verification

Fingerprint Identification: an employee can swipe using only their fingerprint.Fingerprint Verification: an employee swipes a card or enters a PIN number. They must then place their finger to verify their identity.

Identification is great, so why is it not used all the time? The more fingerprints there are to compare one person's to, the longer it will take to match the finger to a template in the database. So you need to push up the processing power to make the process faster - and more processing power is more expensive.
With verification there is a maximum of 10 templates to compare with. It is therefore much faster and the card or PIN adds another level of security.
